ITALIAN WEDDING SOUP WITH VENISON MEATBALLS

I'm always looking for new ways to use the ground venison in the freezer and this is one of my favorites. The Italian sausage not only adds just the right amount of fat that venison needs but it is also seasoned so well that you don't need to add a lot of extra herbs to the soup. Leftovers hold up nicely. The pasta holds its texture and doesn't absorb all of the broth when refrigerated overnight.

This is a hearty all-in-one-meal soup which contains vegetables, meat, and pasta. Served with mozzarella-garlic bread, makes a great meal on a cold winter day. This is a variation of a soup made with beef. I like venison because it is non-fat. Garnish with your favorite cheese.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your soup will taste. Look for venison that is free of gamey flavor and has a deep red color.
  • Brown the venison before adding it to the soup: This will help to develop the flavor of the meat and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to your soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and tomatoes.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to choose one that has a lot of flavor. A good option is to use a combination of beef broth and red wine.
  • Season the soup to taste: Once the soup has simmered, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, garlic, or herbs.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers: This will help to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

Venison Italian soup is a hearty, flavorful, and satisfying dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you have some venison, give this soup a try!
